Manafort's a human snotball, no doubt. But the most vile of people don't deserve to be made pawns in a political game like this. An NY's citizens deserve better than a DA who injects himself into political battles. They already have an idiot mayor and governor doing that for them.
Dude, he defrauded people. A lot. He's a criminal. If he is being prosecuted a second time for the same crime, the Double Jeopardy Clause should protect him. Cyrus Vance clearly doesn't think that's the case.

He's not a pawn in a political game. He got away with a lot of crimes for a long time. Then he got found out.
